My profile picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=File:MarcLevoy-Dec14.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 was deleted for lack of a license file. However, I emailed permissions-en@wikimedia.org with an email from the photographer giving me permission to use his photograph of me. I sent this email on Dec. 3. It is reproduced below. I thought this would suffice. What else is needed? If you need the photograph again, to restore it, please email me, levoy@cs.stanford.edu or levoy@google.com

I switched the photo on my "Marc Levoy" Wikipedia page (which BTW I did not create, but have kept up to date) to your photo of me from the 2014 Xmas party. The photo is attached for reference. Wikipedia is asking for an email proving that you allow me to use the photo for this purpose. Responding to this email with a Yes (assuming you allow it) would probably suffice for their purposes.

The photographer (Florian Kainz) has uploaded his own copy of the picture he took of me. Hopefully he specified the right permissions. He also edited the page about me to use that photograph. You may now delete the version I uploaded without sufficient permissions. Sorry for the trouble.
Regarding editing my own profile article, I did not realize there were rules against this. I did not create this article. In my most recent edits I only added a few citations, to try to get the warning template removed about lack of citations, and I tried to update my profile picture. (I'm getting older, so my picture should too!) I think you'll find the article straightforward and factual, and the references I added straightforward as well. In the future I will not edit my own profile article. Thanks for the gentle warning.
Regarding using my real name as my username, I considered this when I created the account. TBH I didn't think of all the nasty potential use cases, like impersonation and harassment, but I don't contribute to controversial pages. My contributions are mainly to technical articles in areas where I am an expert, and where it is arguably helpful that people know I created the article, because it will make them think twice before editing it heavily. Examples are Light field, an article I initiated, based on a concept I introduced to computer graphics, or Computational Photography, another article I initiated, based on having invented the (most recent) incarnation of that phrase.— Preceding unsigned comment added by MarcLevoy ( talk • contribs) 10:14, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

On 16 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sexy Zone (song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that with an average age of 14.4 years, Sexy Zone became the youngest music act to top the weekly Oricon Singles Chart with its eponymously named debut single? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sexy Zone (song). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Sexy Zone (song)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Explicit. Would you interpret this as a request for deletion per WP:G7 or just something which was posted out of frustration. I've been looking for something which shows this to really be "PD-USGov-Military-Navy", but cannot find anything which shows that it is. So, I'm thinking that it did really come from the Colorado Journal and the uploader doesn't apparently seem to be in the mood to clarify where he got the file. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:49, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

I agree that the VOICE Foundation is non-notable and that the article (mis-titled "Voice Foundation") deserved to be deleted. There is, however, a potentially notable scientific organization called The Voice Foundation, which is not presently the subject of a Wikipedia article but probably should be. The two organizations are not related. (In other words, the one deleted has an acronym as its title, using all capital letters, while the more notable one is called The Voice Foundation because it promotes the study of the human voice.) If someone does create that article, I hope it will not be a problem that it may appear at first to be an attempt to restore the non-notable deletion. PDGPA ( talk) 04:54, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for fixing up a lot of JJMC89's automatic tagging and bringing it up at their RfA. I saw some of that back when it happened in September (and before, IIRC) and I thought it was excessive—JJMC89 literally went around systematically (automatically) removing the same files multiple times from articles because of simple errors in licensing. I really don't agree with what they did there. Ss 112 15:03, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Explicit. I think File:Berryzjingisukancddvd.jpg and File:Berryzjingisukansinglev.jpg and File:Dschinghis Khan×Berryz Kobo Dschinghis Khan Tartar Mix Single V (PKBP-5104) cover.jpg have been deleted by you in good faith, but also in error. I'm unconnected with the article Dschinghis Khan (song) but as a side issue of cleaning up some template parameter errors, I spotted a separate problem. Two instances of the extra album cover template were not showing images, after checking the template I found that the reason the images were not displaying was because the template code had been changed in November so that it stopped supporting the old format of the field names, so the images then became unused. Obviously they were in use, but rendered unused through a remote change that should shouldn't have affected it, but did. Can you undelete the files please. - X201 ( talk) 09:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Explicit. Just a question about this file. You previously deleted it per WP:PROD, but it has been re-uploaded again. Per Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2018/November#File:Jolanta Antas.jpg, this is probably too simple to be considered {{ Non-free book cover}}, but it is also of such poor quality that it might not even be worth keeping as PD. My question is whether reuploading the file is treated as a WP:DEPROD. If it is, then in your opinion is this worth converting to PD or should it go to FFD. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:28, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Explicit, there is a discussion taking place on the above list page about including "other language" chartings.

Hello Explicit. I see the Myo Armband page was deleted (PROD), and your edit comment marked it as "non-notable discontinued product". I can't see the deleted page to view the content, but I think the product was quite notable. As far as I know, it was the first and only to-date commercial electrical muscle-sensing computer input device. While the product is discontinued, the vendor lives on (Amazon is an investor) and is building some kind of follow on product. In the early days of VR, I think new types of input devices are very notable. So, I think it should come back as more than the just namecheck on 2048 (video game) and Gesture recognition pages. Without seeing the content, I'd speculate it could be merged somewhere though. Slaurel ( talk) 16:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Explicit. I was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at this edit again now that the Commons image has been re-cropped and enhanced a bit per c:COM:GL/P#Crop A Dana Plato image. I pinged you in my last post to that discussion, but am also posting here as a courtesy because it has to do with a Wikipedia file as well. If the file is no longer subject to speedy deletion, I think further discussing this at FFD might be a good idea. While I understood the uploader's concerns, relatively poor quality free images do generally seem to be deemed acceptable as free equivalents for higher quality non-free ones per WP:FREER for the most part. The older version might have been too small, etc. to meet that threshold, but the latest re-crop might just be close enough to be acceptable. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for sparing some attention to the files File:Bruce McArthur Niagara Rainbow.jpg and File:Bruce McArthur Court 11 April 2018.jpg. I've been an editor for a while but I haven't done much with images and honestly have trouble understanding the legalese. So I sincerely thank you for deleting them if they were improperly tagged or had copyvio problems (better safe than sorry). The notices on my watchlist say ( F7: Violates non-free content criterion #1 (TW)). I followed the links but I don't really understand the specific problem(s).
The first of the two pictures was a specific image mentioned in the section of the article 2010–2017 Toronto serial homicides § Media use of photos. The second wasn't directly discussed but was representative (from the specific publication of the specific subject from the same time period) and used for comparison. I do not see how it would be possible to make a free equivalent of either.
If you have time to explain, I'd appreciate it. If they're no good, I don't especially mind having them out, it's just that GA reviewers want articles to have supporting media. – Reidgreg ( talk) 14:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

May I bring the following to your attention. In requesting a WP:REFUND of an article deleted by yourself at an expired PROD I cam to notice a series of articles deleted by yourself on 1 April 2019 as expired PROD for which I believe the PROD of 7 days / 168 hours had not quite expired. I have requested a refund for Fronimo (software) which was my primary interest but I am reasonably sure some or all of IBM Cross System Coupling Facility (XCF), Persistent Shared Object Model and Mozilla ActiveX Control were also affected, possibly others also.

Hi Explicit. Would you mind watching this file a bit? I think it's pretty clearly a WP:NFCC#1 violation, but I'm not trying to speed up the process; an IP, however, has already removed the rfu template once and I think there's a good chance the same will happen again.
There's also something else I wonder if you know how to deal with: the COI/Paid declaration added to the non-free use rationale by the file's uploader. The IP also removed this which I think might indicate a connection between not only the IP and the subject of the article Azarias Ruberwa , but also between the IP and the uploader of the file. I've added link to a diff from the file's page to the article's talk page in the {{ Connected contributor (paid)}}, but this diff will probably gone if the file does end up being deleted. Is there a way to preserve the diff so that editors reading the talk page who are not administrators can still see it if the file ends up being deleted? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:20, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Explcit. This file as well as some other national team logos seem to have been recently replaced by svg files like File:Football Association of the Czech Republic logo.svg by S.A. Julio. In some cases the non-svg version was previously discussed at WP:NFCR or WP:FFD with a template added either to the file's page or the file's talk page letting others know about the discussion. Since the older files are going to be eventually deleted per WP:F5, their talk pages are also going to end up deleted as well. What should be done about the NFCR/FFD notification templates added for these files? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:36, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, I just noticed that you deleted Bill Carrick (footballer), an Australian footballer who clearly meets WP:NAFL. Please undelete, and if you disagree with the sports specific notability criteria, raise (yet another) RFC to change them. Someone who meets a sports specific criteria, but who may not meet GNG (in your or other's opinion), cannot under any sensible argument be considered an uncontroversial deletion. That alone should have been enough to reject the PROD. Other issues appear that the article creator ( User:Terlob, who I admit hasn't been active for many months, but I do have his talk page on my watchlist), wasn't notified, nor any of the WikiProjects associated with the article.

There was an ongoing FFD discussion for this file at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2019 May 3#File:Who's a Rat screenshot.jpg. Would you mind restoring the file and re-open the discussion until it's closed according to normal procedure? A bit of a catch-22 here when it's a smart idea to temporarily remove a non-free file from an article if there are BLP concerns, but resolving those concerns at FFD takes more time than F5 allows. – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 14:55, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Morning - apologies if you've already received this but can I copy in correspondence below for completeness to see what you think...
"The Decent Rogues" - request for page deletion to be reversed. Good evening, The page entitled 'The Decent Rogues' has recently been deleted for reasons I fully understand looking through some of the protocols. However, I was just writing on the off-chance to see if it could be reinstated, for now at least. Typically, and the irony of the timing hasn't escaped my attention, it's just been picked-up for its first professional London performance. Obviously anything to help maintain its awareness in the public eye would be splendid, of which Wikipedia is a fine example (and especially since new British music theatre is such a rare and difficult thing to protect!) I'll leave it entirely to your discretion but it you're okay with that, I'll buy you a pint at its West End opening night! Regards and thanks, Jo sabine (talk) 21:43, 8 May 2019 (UTC) :I was the one who proposed deleting the article, but the deletion was carried out by User:Explicit, so it would be more appropriate for them to respond to your request. If they don't respond to my mention, you can ask at their user talk page. Since the deletion was done under the simple proposed deletion process, it shouldn't be a problem to restore the page. However, I would encourage you to add mention of any third-party news coverage about the London production as soon as possible. If there are not new third-party sources, then the next step would be an Articles for Deletion discussion, and that kind of deletion would be harder to come back from. --RL0919 (talk) 23:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC) ::Thank you for your helpful reply.

Obviously anything to help maintain its awareness in the public eye would be splendid, of which Wikipedia is a fine example (and especially since new British music theatre is such a rare and difficult thing to protect!)probably is only going to lead to you being asked to carefully read through Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, particularly the subsection titled " Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion". Wikipedia's role is not to promote anything or preserve anything, no matter how noble that anything may be. Perhaps it's simply WP:TOOSOON for Wikipedia to have an article about the play, but maybe once it's had a bit of a run and has received some significant coverage in the media or other reliable sources, it will have a better chance of surviving as an article.Anyway, I'm not an administrator like Explicit and he may decide to restore the article, but unless the reasons the article was prodded for deletion can be addressed rather quickly, it's almost certainly going to end up being nominated and ultimately deleted once again, which would be a waste of the Wikipedia community's time and energy. So, maybe instead of asking Explicit to restore it as an article, you should consider having him restore it as a draft or a userspace draft instead. This will allow you to continue to work on it and if better sources are eventually found, you can submit the article for review to Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Drafts aren't really subject to the same notability guidelines as articles; so, as long as you regularly work on improving it and avoid any major violations of Wikipedia policies and guidelines, you'll probably be left alone by other editors to work on it at your own pace. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi Explicit. Thanks for restoring File:ArsenalLFC Twitter logo.png. FWIW, if someone still feels the other file should be used in the Women's article, then I've got no problem with them starting a new discussion about it at FFD.
I'm not sure if you remember User talk:Explicit/Archive 23#Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 6#File:India FA.svg, but the things discussed in that thread are almost certainly related to this post. I think you closed many FFD discussions related to some of the files mentioned in that post. Anyway, I've also got no problem with anyone asking you for clarification or trying to establish a new consensus regarding any of those files. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:54, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

The photographer (Florian Kainz) has uploaded his own copy of the picture he took of me. Hopefully he specified the right permissions. He also edited the page about me to use that photograph. You may now delete the version I uploaded without sufficient permissions. Sorry for the trouble.
Regarding editing my own profile article, I did not realize there were rules against this. I did not create this article. In my most recent edits I only added a few citations, to try to get the warning template removed about lack of citations, and I tried to update my profile picture. (I'm getting older, so my picture should too!) I think you'll find the article straightforward and factual, and the references I added straightforward as well. In the future I will not edit my own profile article. Thanks for the gentle warning.
Regarding using my real name as my username, I considered this when I created the account. TBH I didn't think of all the nasty potential use cases, like impersonation and harassment, but I don't contribute to controversial pages. My contributions are mainly to technical articles in areas where I am an expert, and where it is arguably helpful that people know I created the article, because it will make them think twice before editing it heavily. Examples are Light field, an article I initiated, based on a concept I introduced to computer graphics, or Computational Photography, another article I initiated, based on having invented the (most recent) incarnation of that phrase.— Preceding unsigned comment added by MarcLevoy ( talk • contribs) 10:14, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Explicit. Would you interpret this as a request for deletion per WP:G7 or just something which was posted out of frustration. I've been looking for something which shows this to really be "PD-USGov-Military-Navy", but cannot find anything which shows that it is. So, I'm thinking that it did really come from the Colorado Journal and the uploader doesn't apparently seem to be in the mood to clarify where he got the file. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:49, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

I agree that the VOICE Foundation is non-notable and that the article (mis-titled "Voice Foundation") deserved to be deleted. There is, however, a potentially notable scientific organization called The Voice Foundation, which is not presently the subject of a Wikipedia article but probably should be. The two organizations are not related. (In other words, the one deleted has an acronym as its title, using all capital letters, while the more notable one is called The Voice Foundation because it promotes the study of the human voice.) If someone does create that article, I hope it will not be a problem that it may appear at first to be an attempt to restore the non-notable deletion. PDGPA ( talk) 04:54, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for fixing up a lot of JJMC89's automatic tagging and bringing it up at their RfA.

Hello Explicit. I think File:Berryzjingisukancddvd.jpg and File:Berryzjingisukansinglev.jpg and File:Dschinghis Khan×Berryz Kobo Dschinghis Khan Tartar Mix Single V (PKBP-5104) cover.jpg have been deleted by you in good faith, but also in error. I'm unconnected with the article Dschinghis Khan (song) but as a side issue of cleaning up some template parameter errors, I spotted a separate problem. Two instances of the extra album cover template were not showing images, after checking the template I found that the reason the images were not displaying was because the template code had been changed in November so that it stopped supporting the old format of the field names, so the images then became unused. Obviously they were in use, but rendered unused through a remote change that should shouldn't have affected it, but did. Can you undelete the files please. - X201 ( talk) 09:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Explicit. Just a question about this file. You previously deleted it per WP:PROD, but it has been re-uploaded again. Per Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2018/November#File:Jolanta Antas.jpg, this is probably too simple to be considered {{ Non-free book cover}}, but it is also of such poor quality that it might not even be worth keeping as PD. My question is whether reuploading the file is treated as a WP:DEPROD. If it is, then in your opinion is this worth converting to PD or should it go to FFD. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:28, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Explicit. I see the Myo Armband page was deleted (PROD), and your edit comment marked it as "non-notable discontinued product". I can't see the deleted page to view the content, but I think the product was quite notable. As far as I know, it was the first and only to-date commercial electrical muscle-sensing computer input device. While the product is discontinued, the vendor lives on (Amazon is an investor) and is building some kind of follow on product. In the early days of VR, I think new types of input devices are very notable. So, I think it should come back as more than the just namecheck on 2048 (video game) and Gesture recognition pages. Without seeing the content, I'd speculate it could be merged somewhere though. Slaurel ( talk) 16:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Explicit. I was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at this edit again now that the Commons image has been re-cropped and enhanced a bit per c:COM:GL/P#Crop A Dana Plato image. I pinged you in my last post to that discussion, but am also posting here as a courtesy because it has to do with a Wikipedia file as well. If the file is no longer subject to speedy deletion, I think further discussing this at FFD might be a good idea. While I understood the uploader's concerns, relatively poor quality free images do generally seem to be deemed acceptable as free equivalents for higher quality non-free ones per WP:FREER for the most part. The older version might have been too small, etc. to meet that threshold, but the latest re-crop might just be close enough to be acceptable. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for sparing some attention to the files File:Bruce McArthur Niagara Rainbow.jpg and File:Bruce McArthur Court 11 April 2018.jpg. I've been an editor for a while but I haven't done much with images and honestly have trouble understanding the legalese. So I sincerely thank you for deleting them if they were improperly tagged or had copyvio problems (better safe than sorry). The notices on my watchlist say ( F7: Violates non-free content criterion #1 (TW)). I followed the links but I don't really understand the specific problem(s).
The first of the two pictures was a specific image mentioned in the section of the article 2010–2017 Toronto serial homicides § Media use of photos. The second wasn't directly discussed but was representative (from the specific publication of the specific subject from the same time period) and used for comparison. I do not see how it would be possible to make a free equivalent of either.
If you have time to explain, I'd appreciate it. If they're no good, I don't especially mind having them out, it's just that GA reviewers want articles to have supporting media. – Reidgreg ( talk) 14:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

In requesting a WP:REFUND of an article deleted by yourself at an expired PROD I cam to notice a series of articles deleted by yourself on 1 April 2019 as expired PROD for which I believe the PROD of 7 days / 168 hours had not quite expired.

Hi Explicit. Would you mind watching this file a bit? I think it's pretty clearly a WP:NFCC#1 violation, but I'm not trying to speed up the process; an IP, however, has already removed the rfu template once and I think there's a good chance the same will happen again.
There's also something else I wonder if you know how to deal with: the COI/Paid declaration added to the non-free use rationale by the file's uploader. The IP also removed this which I think might indicate a connection between not only the IP and the subject of the article Azarias Ruberwa , but also between the IP and the uploader of the file. I've added link to a diff from the file's page to the article's talk page in the {{ Connected contributor (paid)}}, but this diff will probably gone if the file does end up being deleted. Is there a way to preserve the diff so that editors reading the talk page who are not administrators can still see it if the file ends up being deleted? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:20, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the policy is here, but BNC Bank became part of Pinnacle Financial Partners. In many cases Wikipedia allows the former logo of a company to be included in its article. There is one former logo of BNC Bank in the current article, but if it would be possible to restore the other one, please do so and I would return it to the BNC Bank article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:05, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I'm still learning about deletions, and I did read your list but don't see anything on this topic.How do I find out what the issue specifically was? How can I get a draft back up so that I can fix the issue? I never receved an discussion or an email about it being PROD, so I'm a bit lost on what to do here. Appreciate it!

00:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Can you restore this, this was created through the AFC process. I passed it and did not notice this was a PROD nom so I actually think it was notable and hence why I passed it, a deletion discussion is probably more appropriate.

Could I get a copy of the deleted article? (Some years ago, I took at run at this topic, creating a draft but never putting it into mainspace. I'd like to see if the deleted article had any useful content that I could add to my draft.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:08, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Can I please get a restoration after the PROD here, as I missed seeing it being added. I can't justify any of the concerns cited, "Non-notable term, not subject to significant coverage in any of the listed sources. Much of the article is original research." When the article itself cited two broadsheet newspapers discussing its use, and I certainly can't see any part of it counting as OR. Thanks Andy Dingley ( talk) 00:36, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
You deleted
File:Puneri-paltan logo.png on 12 March 2019 (because it was an unused non-free media files for more than 7 days). It was unused because, in the associated article
Puneri Paltan, it has been
replaced by a new file (from Commons) on 3 March 2019. But this new file has been
deleted from Commons on 8 March 2019 due to Copyright violation.
Is it possible, for you, to restore the initial file on the English Wikipedia? Then this file could be used again in
Puneri Paltan.

Hi Explcit. This file as well as some other national team logos seem to have been recently replaced by svg files like File:Football Association of the Czech Republic logo.svg by S.A. Julio. In some cases the non-svg version was previously discussed at WP:NFCR or WP:FFD with a template added either to the file's page or the file's talk page letting others know about the discussion. Since the older files are going to be eventually deleted per WP:F5, their talk pages are also going to end up deleted as well. What should be done about the NFCR/FFD notification templates added for these files? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:36, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I would just like to ask why there was a need to separate the wins in Inkigayo (only some years) to separate pages? For someone who has very limited data, I enjoyed the old version where you just click [Show] and everything is located into one page instead of redirecting to another page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kntx12 ( talk • contribs) 14:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
After you closed this CfD discussio as listify, I have copied the contents of the category to Talk:Czech_Lion_Awards. I suppose the category can now be deleted, right? Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:24, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, I just noticed that you deleted Bill Carrick (footballer), an Australian footballer who clearly meets WP:NAFL. Please undelete, and if you disagree with the sports specific notability criteria, raise (yet another) RFC to change them. Someone who meets a sports specific criteria, but who may not meet GNG (in your or other's opinion), cannot under any sensible argument be considered an uncontroversial deletion. That alone should have been enough to reject the PROD. Other issues appear that the article creator ( User:Terlob, who I admit hasn't been active for many months, but I do have his talk page on my watchlist), wasn't notified, nor any of the WikiProjects associated with the article. Regards, The-Pope ( talk) 15:22, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
There was an ongoing FFD discussion for this file at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2019 May 3#File:Who's a Rat screenshot.jpg. Would you mind restoring the file and re-open the discussion until it's closed according to normal procedure? A bit of a catch-22 here when it's a smart idea to temporarily remove a non-free file from an article if there are BLP concerns, but resolving those concerns at FFD takes more time than F5 allows. – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 14:55, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Morning - apologies if you've already received this but can I copy in correspondence below for completeness to see what you think...
"The Decent Rogues" - request for page deletion to be reversed. Good evening, The page entitled 'The Decent Rogues' has recently been deleted for reasons I fully understand looking through some of the protocols. However, I was just writing on the off-chance to see if it could be reinstated, for now at least. Typically, and the irony of the timing hasn't escaped my attention, it's just been picked-up for its first professional London performance. Obviously anything to help maintain its awareness in the public eye would be splendid, of which Wikipedia is a fine example (and especially since new British music theatre is such a rare and difficult thing to protect!) I'll leave it entirely to your discretion but it you're okay with that, I'll buy you a pint at its West End opening night! Regards and thanks, Jo sabine (talk) 21:43, 8 May 2019 (UTC) :I was the one who proposed deleting the article, but the deletion was carried out by User:Explicit, so it would be more appropriate for them to respond to your request. If they don't respond to my mention, you can ask at their user talk page. Since the deletion was done under the simple proposed deletion process, it shouldn't be a problem to restore the page. However, I would encourage you to add mention of any third-party news coverage about the London production as soon as possible. If there are not new third-party sources, then the next step would be an Articles for Deletion discussion, and that kind of deletion would be harder to come back from. --RL0919 (talk) 23:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC) ::Thank you for your helpful reply. I’ll wait to hear from User:Explicit and we’ll go from there. ::Very best wishes. Jo sabine (talk) 06:21, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Obviously anything to help maintain its awareness in the public eye would be splendid, of which Wikipedia is a fine example (and especially since new British music theatre is such a rare and difficult thing to protect!)probably is only going to lead to you being asked to carefully read through Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, particularly the subsection titled " Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion". Wikipedia's role is not to promote anything or preserve anything, no matter how noble that anything may be. Perhaps it's simply WP:TOOSOON for Wikipedia to have an article about the play, but maybe once it's had a bit of a run and has received some significant coverage in the media or other reliable sources, it will have a better chance of surviving as an article.Anyway, I'm not an administrator like Explicit and he may decide to restore the article, but unless the reasons the article was prodded for deletion can be addressed rather quickly, it's almost certainly going to end up being nominated and ultimately deleted once again, which would be a waste of the Wikipedia community's time and energy. So, maybe instead of asking Explicit to restore it as an article, you should consider having him restore it as a draft or a userspace draft instead. This will allow you to continue to work on it and if better sources are eventually found, you can submit the article for review to Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Drafts aren't really subject to the same notability guidelines as articles; so, as long as you regularly work on improving it and avoid any major violations of Wikipedia policies and guidelines, you'll probably be left alone by other editors to work on it at your own pace. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi Explicit. Thanks for restoring File:ArsenalLFC Twitter logo.png. FWIW, if someone still feels the other file should be used in the Women's article, then I've got no problem with them starting a new discussion about it at FFD.
I'm not sure if you remember User talk:Explicit/Archive 23#Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 6#File:India FA.svg, but the things discussed in that thread are almost certainly related to this post. I think you closed many FFD discussions related to some of the files mentioned in that post. Anyway, I've also got no problem with anyone asking you for clarification or trying to establish a new consensus regarding any of those files. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:54, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
